    Allow me to disagree. From our experience, the simplest method for logging
    is to fileappend() using FUP. Simple, quick, no scale-up problems, doesn't
    change the size of the database, has many other advantages.

    Sorry, but the mentality of 'keep the server unmodified or die' is
    obviously wrong. Arguably MCP was 'bad', until the moment when Pavel added
    it to the server, and then it became kosher. Nah.

    Sorry if anyone feels this to be a flame or flame-bait, it is not intended
    to be so. Bottom line - some applications benefit a lot from certain server
    modifications. This is one of them.
